The Machine is Stopped
Overview
Ensnared in a web of data...that only the machines can see.
Jessica serves the future state as a Professional - a member of a tiny class of bureaucrats teetering far above the wretched and dependent Clients who are all that is left of humanity.
But Jessica depends in turn on the machines that are her only remaining connection to the outside world - and whose pitiless algorithms judge her every word, every gesture, and every heartbeat.
This homage to the classic novella The Machine Stops reimagines E.M. Forster's prescient dystopian vision for our age of ubiquitous social media, technological isolation, and therapeutic totalitarianism.
